Draft Swine Air Emission Models for Animal Feeding Operations
Posted by [email protected] on Sep. 7, 2020
August 2020, EPA posted draft emission models for swine operations developed using data gathered during the National Air Emissions Monitoring Study (NAEMS). The Agency continues to develop emission models for broiler, egg-layer, and dairy animal feeding operations. The public comment period associated with this draft will occur when EPA completes drafts of all of the emission models for all animal sectors monitored during NAEMS, anticipated in 2021. Once finalized, the emission models will be used by animal feeding operations participating in a voluntary consent agreement known as the Air Compliance Agreement to determine applicability of certain Clean Air Act permitting requirements.
